I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 117
Semifinals (4)
“Huuuuu.”
Hikaru let out a long breath.
His expression was still filled with shock.
‘To think she was hiding such an absurd weapon.’
His heart was still cold with fear.
His body was still trembling as the surprise hadn’t subsided.
‘Ascension Breath.’
Not only did that one skill completely tear apart all his summoned creatures, but it also shattered the stage itself, creating a massive hole.
Gooooooo…!
It was so deep that it looked like a dark, endless abyss right before his eyes.
Destructive power unlike anything he’d ever seen.
It was truly befitting of an S-rank summoned creature.
“Kuk, kuk kuk.”
Hikaru’s shoulders shook.
Why was it so funny that he remained standing without being defeated by that absurd attack?
If he had fought this monster outside, he would have lost 100%, but this was a Player battle with limited summoned creatures.
And.
He was still alive.
‘Bringing the Phoenix was a stroke of genius.’
The Phoenix’s egg remained firmly in place where everything else had been torn apart.
Immortality.
It would only take 5 minutes for it to be reborn at full health.
Truly an overpowered summoned creature!
“…Rachel.”
Hikaru muttered.
“…”
But Rachel didn’t respond.
She was frozen with her eyes wide open, unable to move even a finger.
This was due to the Wood Elf’s paralyzing poison taking full effect.
‘Even.’
– Grrrr.
Even the Golden Dragon, growling lowly, seemed to have no strength left.
‘That must be the penalty for Ascension Breath.’
Hikaru clenched his fist tightly.
Finally!
At last!
Would he defeat Rachel for the first time in 4 years?
Even if it wasn’t an overwhelming victory, even if Rachel had only used one summoned creature.
‘A win is a win.’
This would be a tremendous achievement for Japan.
Perhaps after this league ended, his name might be placed at the top of the world rankings.
“Rachel, you were too careless.”
While waiting 5 minutes for the Phoenix to be reborn, Hikaru continued speaking.
“Even so, coming at me with just one summoned creature is too much, isn’t it? Even if you look down on me, you should have done it in moderation. Don’t you think?”
Huu.
Hikaru sat next to the Phoenix’s egg, waiting for the paralyzed Rachel!
He was celebrating victory in his heart.
“What, what is this!”
“Really? Rachel is really going to lose like this?”
“This is impossible!”
The guild members stared at the screen with shocked expressions.
– This is impossible!
– Phoenix immortality! Isn’t that too overpowered?
– What about the Wood Elf that penetrated the barrier and paralyzed the Player!
– Ah, ahhh. This is a blunder. Rachel’s blunder for underestimating Japan’s Hikaru too much! No matter how S-rank it is, how can one creature face five!
The commentators were also in chaos, and the real-time chat was on fire.
Rachel frozen in place and Hikaru waiting for the Phoenix to finish her off.
They raised their voices watching that historic moment.
“But.”
Baek Jin-woo frowned.
“Hikaru definitely did everything well, right? But 1% is slightly disappointing. If it were me, I wouldn’t do it like that.”
“Huh?”
“Why?”
The guild members showed interest.
Even after the Golden Dragon breathed its attack, Baek Jin-woo was the only one who predicted Hikaru would win.
Had he spotted something else again?
“Vision.”
“What?”
“He’s not blocking her vision. Ha, stupid Sugoi hyung. What is he doing now after winning everything?”
Baek Jin-woo was frustrated.
There are two ways for a Player to summon creatures.
Raise their hand, or move their vision to adjust the status window!
That’s why when imprisoning Players, they tie their hands and cover their eyes.
“No matter how paralyzed she is, if her eyes are open, he shouldn’t be so careless. Especially when not all her summoned creatures have appeared yet.”
If it were Baek Jin-woo, he would have immediately rushed to Rachel in that situation.
And he would have covered her eyes with both palms and endured for 5 minutes.
That would have been Hikaru’s overwhelming victory.
“Don’t tell me Rachel is going to bring out another summoned creature in that state?”
Hong Ari asked in horror.
If that were true, it would be truly chilling…
“We’ll see.”
Why was it?
Baek Jin-woo could clearly picture what was in Rachel’s mind.
‘If the one she’s wary of isn’t Hikaru but me.’
She would definitely have hidden a summoned creature.
Baek Jin-woo would have done the same.
At that moment.
“…”
Rachel was sighing inwardly.
‘I thought it would end with the Breath, but I got completely caught.’
At the same time, she was preparing to summon one more creature.
‘I really didn’t want to show this.’
It couldn’t be helped.
Thinking there was no way she’d lose to Hikaru, she had only registered two summoned creatures on her team.
‘Huu.’
Rachel’s second hidden summoned creature!
Incidentally, even Oliviana Veil from the England National Team didn’t know about this summoned creature.
Only she knew about it in the entire world, and she had been secretly raising it.
‘I originally planned to show this as a surprise attack when facing Jinugod.’
But given the situation, there’s no choice.
Losing to Hikaru just doesn’t make sense, right?
More than anything, she absolutely hated the idea of giving him the glory of facing Jinugod directly.
Swish, swoosh!
When her vision is clear, she can move the status window with her will.
Whatever he’s thinking, Hikaru is sitting next to that Phoenix Egg, trembling all over.
For her, this is an incredibly fortunate situation!
She easily opened the summoning window.
Click!
She pressed the Y button.
About a minute had passed when…
“Hm?”
Hikaru suddenly stood up.
Because he felt something rising around Rachel’s body.
That was definitely the effect of another summon being called forth.
‘Oh no!’
Only then did he realize his mistake.
‘I didn’t cover her eyes!’
Rachel had only shown one summon so far.
That meant he should have considered she had four more!
This was such basic fundamentals among fundamentals!
‘The breath attack… because of that.’
That intense performance had frozen his brain.
And his burning desire to finally beat Rachel had made him overlook the basics.
‘I was the one being careless.’
He tried to rush forward, but it was already too late.
Kuwaaaaaaaaa!
The being that appeared, casting shadows across the entire space, was an enormous white tiger!
Baekho (White Tiger).
– Grroooooar!
Hikaru’s body stiffened completely at its roar.
His breath caught in his throat.
‘What, what the hell…’
What kind of summon is that?
A summon that wasn’t in his 10-year veteran knowledge meant…
‘Damn it…!’
It was definitely S-rank.
That crazy Rachel had two S-rank summons.
This wasn’t just absurd, it was ridiculous and infuriating.
How lucky would you have to be to have two S-rank summons?
“This doesn’t make sense!”
Hikaru shouted, but Baekho was already charging.
With its massive jaws wide open.
“Hey, wait! There’s no need to be so hasty…!”
Crunch!
It bit through the ground where the Phoenix Egg was placed.
As if mocking him for daring to think he could beat their master.
“Whoa, what!”
Baek Jin-woo jumped up in shock.
“Baekho?”
That’s definitely Baekho.
A summon that existed in Baek Jin-woo’s memory.
Was it during the third year of Battle of Summoners?
There was some lucky guy.
A Ukrainian user, if he remembered correctly, who got the ‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’ in one try, and then broke through the 1% probability to pull an S-rank…
Other veterans probably wouldn’t know about it.
He briefly contacted Baek Jin-woo, then quit quickly saying even pulling S-rank wasn’t fun.
What that guy pulled back then was Baekho.
East’s Azure Dragon.
South’s Vermillion Bird.
West’s White Tiger.
North’s Black Tortoise.
According to the information, the Four Divine Beasts from Eastern tradition were set as S-rank.
“Why, why why.”
“Why? Guild Master?”
The guild members asked in surprise.
“That’s S-rank. Baekho. One of the Four Divine Beasts.”
Baek Jin-woo explained.
“Huh.”
“Really? There was such a thing?”
“So she had another S-rank summon besides the Golden Dragon? Hmm…”
A groan-like exclamation escaped their lips.
Current Rachel had been maintaining her world ranking #1 position with just the Golden Dragon.
But now there’s another S-rank added to that?
They thought she was just a monster, but turns out she was a monster hiding her power?
‘A power-hiding monster…’
‘This is really going too far.’
With a single move, Rachel shattered the hopes of Hikaru and all Japanese citizens.
She declared to the entire world that England wasn’t just holding strong, but was moving even further ahead.
– Ah, ahhh…!
– What could that summon be?
– I don’t know. We’ll probably have to interview her after the match to find out.
– What’s certain is that it’s a type of summon even current experts don’t know well.
Anyway.
Since Hikaru lost to Rachel, the result was obvious.
The winner of England vs Japan was England!
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Uwaaaaaaah!”
Thunderous cheers erupted in the world that had been briefly silent.
South Korea’s real-time chat was also on fire.
└ Wow, Rachel is truly on another level.
└ I curse my ignorant intuition for thinking Hikaru might win, even briefly.
└ Of course. It would be strange if Rachel lost to Hikaru. Rachel is the real deal among the Five Emperors.
└ But what’s that white tiger? It looks incredibly strong?
└ There are many rumors it’s an S-rank summon. Nothing confirmed yet though?
└ Another S-rank?
└ Does that make sense?
└ For real, that’s nonsense. Wasn’t Rachel the only player in the world with an S-rank summon?
└ Yeah, according to records.
“Ha.”
Baek Jin-woo laughed.
It was a hollow laugh born from sheer disbelief.
‘This is really insane.’
Two S-rank creatures?
Even if the scale gets bigger, there should be limits.
Where does it make sense to give another one to someone who already has an S-rank?
This damn world!
Fucking luck-based bullshit!
Why does the rich-get-richer, poor-get-poorer principle apply to summoned creatures too?
Of course, Baek Jin-woo, who started with an EX-rank summoned creature, wasn’t really one to talk, but still! It was equally absurd.
‘If mine was like a special privilege, his is pure luck.’
At this rate, he didn’t know what to expect.
Baek Jin-woo had most summoned creature skills up to A-rank stored in his head, but he had almost none for S-rank.
How could he memorize things that didn’t even exist during Battle of Summoners?
Fighting while knowing the opponent’s skills and patterns versus fighting on instinct without knowing creates vastly different results.
“Phew.”
Baek Jin-woo closed his eyes.
‘Let me get it together.’
Let me think differently.
This is actually good.
The harder the opponent, the greater the thrill when you beat them!
‘That was always my principle anyway.’
“Everyone.”
Baek Jin-woo smoothly scanned his surroundings.
The guild members all had serious expressions.
“We’ve watched enough of today’s match, so let’s prepare for tomorrow’s match against the United States.”
Right.
For now, let’s put England aside.
First, he had to crush Jenos from the United States.
“Since we’ve made it to the semifinals, shouldn’t we at least make it to the finals?”
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes turned cold.
And he started walking.
To reorganize his Rune Setting once more, which he had been preparing for the semifinal match.
